View of Shearwater Marina
Welcome to Shearwater BC! This is the resort half of Bella Bella. The large marina holds many tourist boats (many from the US) and the buildings house a small store, laundry, a post office, a general store and a large marine repair facility. There is a pub (with the metal roof in front of the mustard building). The big boat in the front is the Parry - a comercial tourist fishing boat - you live on board and go out in the runabouts each day to get the best fishing.

This trail is one of the most damaged I've ever hiked. The soil over the rock is thin and easily washes away once the vegetation has be trampled. Anything vertical (that used to be covered with tree roots) is now exposed (slipery) rock.
